Whilst skiing this year it was very apparent that there has been a change in culture and at least half the adults are now wearing helmets. Of course Holly has to wear one by law, but it had just not occurred to wear one myself. I think the danger now is probably more being hit by another skier or boarder than hitting a stationary object. So putting budget before style in standard Stodge fashion, I now am the proud owner of a bright orange V5 helmet. Other than getting a bit hot and the sound being a little muffled I have found it comfortable and unobtrusive. It’s also a great place to fix a bullet video camera to!
So I now have helmets for canoeing, skiing, biking…… what next? Luckily I am allergic to horses 😉


How on earth can you say it was unobtrusive? It clashed horribly with your lime-green ski jacket & you could spot you from the other side of the valley!
Maybe it only seemed unobtrusive because you couldn’t see it ;0)
